Christmas – Page 20 – A Stamping Journey

Week 10 for our 12 Weeks of Christmas series. Can you believe it? Have you been following along over the weeks? I hope so. It’s been fun but I can’t believe it’s coming to the end.

Today I have a Bridge Fold card for you.

I have used the set Stylish Christmas for this which can be found in the Annual Catalogue. Don’t forget about those great Christmas sets that are in the Annual Catalogue.

The original design for the card was from Lyssa’s blog ->HERE.

I redesigned the card to make it larger and also converted it to Metric measurements. I will add them below.

BRIDGE FOLD CARD

** These are for the metric measurements. For Imperial measurements, head to Lyssa’s blog post in the link above. NB: My version is taller at 14.8cm. You would cut your card at 5 7/8″ instead of 4 1/4″ if you want that to be the same. Each of your strips would be longer too at about 5 3/4″. Hope that makes sense.

Base card – 14.8cm x 20.3 cm. Score at 3.2cm, 6.3cm, 14cm and 17.2cm

Front Strips – either card or co-ordinating paper. 2 pieces measuring 2.8cm x 14.4cm.

Centre Mat – 7.3cm x 14.4cm.

Centre piece – 6.9cm x 14cm. Whisper White.

Front Strip – 3.2cm x 14cm.

Fold the Base card. Adhere the strips to the front. Stamp the centre piece as you like. Adhere on to Centre mat and adhere to the Base card in the centre.

To adhere the Front strip: Fold the left hand edge to create a z-fold. Adhere the strip in position on the left hand piece by lining it up to the left hand edge. Leave the Right hand folds open, adhere the right hand edge of the strip on to the right hand edge.

Decorate the card as you would like. Have fun with it.

12 WEEKS OF CHRISTMAS – WEEK 9 – EMBOSSED VELLUM SNOWFLAKES!

November 30, 2018November 29, 2018 Jenny Hayward

For Week 9 of our 12 Weeks of Christmas series I am giving the Snowflake Showcase one last hoorah! It is such a nice suite. So sad that it is going. So for today’s project I wanted to give embossing the snowflake dies a whirl. I have seen a few cards with this idea recently.

On this card I thought I would emboss the snowflakes on Vellum cardstock.

I like how this turned out. How great is it that you can emboss with your dies. It gives the cards a whole different effect.

Have you tried embossing with your dies yet? I did do it some weeks back and shared how to do it. You can see that post -> HERE.

Just to remind you the layers when embossing I have added a graphic here for you to PIN. I know I always forget and I have to look it up.

With vellum you need to be careful it doesn’t tear. If you have a problem with that you can add a piece of scrap paper in between the card and the die.

The paper on the card above is from Under The Mistletoe Designer Series Paper.

I love that you can stamp the snowflakes from the Snow is Glistening stamp set and cut them with the Framelit dies from the Snowfall Thinlits or you can diecut the very detailed snowflakes straight from card or the Foil Sheets. It’s very versatile.

I hope that you have got hold of this suite now as it ends today. If you need to still grab it you have just a few hours left to grab it in my store -> HERE.

12 WEEKS OF CHRISTMAS – WEEK 8 – PILLOW BOX CHRISTMAS!

November 23, 2018November 23, 2018 Jenny Hayward

Week 8 today for our 12 Weeks of Christmas series. Are you enjoying these? I would love to hear what you think. I hope they are inspiring you. 🙂

Today’s project is a gift box. The Kraft Pillow Boxes make really quick gift packaging. They are large enough to add a gift card and even throw in a few chocolates.

For this one I have use the Snow is Glistening Stamp set and the Snowfall Thinlits. Not much longer to get these products if you want them.

I made a wrap for the Pillow Box using the Under The Mistletoe Designer Series Paper. Then added a strip of Old Olive cardstock around it. TIP: Assemble the Pillow Box before you adhere the paper so you have the right dimensions with it being expanded. The larger snowflake is cut with the White Velvet Paper, then a snowflake is stamped in Real Red on to Red card and cut with one of the snowflake Thinlits. A tiny snowflake is cut from the Copper Foil. I added a small bow from the Linen Thread. I just realised I edited this photo upside down as the bow doesn’t sit the right way. Oops! Oh well! That’s OK right. 😉

Simple but very easy to do. You can dress up any treat with these.

You can grab these Kraft Pillow Boxes in my store now -> HERE. Unfortunately they are not one of the discounted items for the Extravaganza but they are still great value at $8.75 for 10 boxes.

The Under The Mistletoe DSP is one of the papers at 10% off today and tomorrow for Extravaganza. Grab your pack at $17.32 in my store -> HERE. I have used this paper a lot this Christmas. Make sure you grab some for your Christmas creating.

Thanks for stopping by today,

Jenny

Online Extravaganza is on now. Check all the reduced papers and embellishments HERE but this ends on the 24th.

12 WEEKS OF CHRISTMAS – WEEK 7 – PEEK A BOO GINGERBREAD MAN!

November 15, 2018November 15, 2018 Jenny Hayward

Today is Week 7 of our 12 Weeks of Christmas series. This card is a cute one if I can say that.

I haven’t used this stamp set for quite some time and was reminded of it recently. So I thought I would just have to use it for this week.

Here is my card. I call it my Peek A Boo Gingerbread man.

I have used the Festive Farmhouse Designer Series Paper. A circle was cut in it with the Layering Circles Framelits and then adhered the legs of the gingerbread man behind the circle. Then a piece of white card was adhered to the back of the paper. Once it was all adhered on to the crumb cake mat and the card base I stuck an Dimensional behind his head to prop him up a little. The Crumb Cake card was embossed with the Sparkle Embossed Folder. The sentiment was stamped on a strip of Old Olive card and finished with a Red Rhinestone.

Hehe! Don’t you think he is cute?

Thanks for visiting me for our 7th week. Have you caught the past weeks projects? Be sure to click on the tag of 12 Weeks of Christmas at the bottom of this post on my blog to see them all.

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #46 – CHECKING OUT MY ONSTAGE SWAPS!

November 14, 2018November 14, 2018 Jenny Hayward

Something different for you for Wednesday’s WOW! today for #46. Since I have just returned from Onstage in Melbourne I thought you might like to see the swaps I received. I could show you photos – and I will but I have a video for you as sometimes you can see them a little better and especially see what the 3D ones are actually like.

So here is the video below. Further down I have the still photos for you if you want to PIN them.

Such a selection. Aren’t they just lovely?? Thank you everyone who swapped with me. I hope these give you some inspiration for your projects.

I will show you the swap card that I created shortly.

Thanks for visiting,

SNOWFLAKE SHOWCASE WEEK – DAY 4!

November 8, 2018November 8, 2018 Jenny Hayward

Today I have another card for our Snowflake Showcase Week. I realised that it is using Bermuda Bay again. Sorry about that but isn’t it a nice snowflake-y colour.

This is a card we made in our class last week. I wasn’t sure about it. I thought it might be too simple but everyone loved it. So I thought I would include this in our Showcase week. Really it might be simple but with the gorgeous detail there doesn’t have to be much on a card.

The lovely swirly snowflake is cut with the White Velvet Paper and the large snowflake with the Silver Glimmer Paper. I added a Silver Adhesive Rhinestone to the centre of it. I added a couple of stamped snowflakes. The sentiment is stamped in Basic Gray. It’s a sweet sentiment but I wouldn’t wish a blizzard on anyone. 🙂

SNOWFLAKE SHOWCASE WEEK – DAY 3 – AND A VIDEO FOR WEDNESDAY’S WOW!

November 7, 2018November 7, 2018 Jenny Hayward

Day 3 of our Snowflake Showcase Week. Half-way through. Today’s card is simple really but I think effective – and they can turn out differently each time.

The background for this card is a Watercolour wash. I have used Bermuda Bay and of course the Snow is Glistening stamp set and Snowfall Thinlits.

The large snowflake is cut from the White Velvet Paper. Have I told you how soft and furry it is? So nice and adds such a lovely texture to your projects. I have also used the Silver Glimmer Paper and the tiny snowflake is from the White Velvet Paper too.

Do you want to see how I have done the Watercolour Wash background? Since it is a Wednesday and time for Wednesday’s WOW! #45 I thought I would combine the two. How about that. 🙂

You can see the video below. (NB: If you receive the blog updates by email and the video hasn’t shown then click on the title at the top to go to the blog post and watch it there).

I am just starting out more with videos. They are not easy let me say … 🙂 I would love to know your thoughts and if you have any suggestions to improve them, please drop a comment and let me know.

How are you liking the Snowflake Showcase products? Have you bought any yet?

Just a reminder what these products are as you couldn’t see them well in the video.

If you are in Australia you can order these now from me. Remember these are only available in November AND only while supplies last, so don’t delay with them.

Order in store -> HERE. Please use the Host Code: KGQKCBA4

OR email me to arrange an order.

Thanks for watching. Now go and try that wash technique.

SNOWFLAKE SHOWCASE WEEK – DAY 2!

November 6, 2018November 6, 2018 Jenny Hayward

For Day 2 of our Snowflake Showcase Week I wanted to show that these products don’t need to just be for Christmas – and they don’t need to be snowflakes. I love these products but I know that in our hot climate in Australia we don’t have snowflakes at Christmas so this suite might not be as appealing.

Here is today’s card you can create that is great for any occasion.

The background stamping on this is using Southern Serenade set. You could use any background stamping. I used the Snowfall Thinlits to create a pretty flower in Gorgeous Grape, Lemon Lime Twist and Pear Pizzazz card. The sentiment from the Snow is Glistening stamp set is heat embossed in white and cut out with a small Framelit with the Bunch of Banners Framelits dies.

This is the Southern Serenade set if you haven’t noticed it much before. I really haven’t used it enough lately. I particularly love the sentiments in it.
